planning to cop an UB as well.  biggrin.gif  But i heard from some people the outsole is not really durable and runs out very fast if you use it for running frequently  hmm.gif

The soles on UB's are basically a piece of black rubber around 3mm in thickness that is stuck on top of the boost unit. As you can expect, durability will definitely be an issue if you plan to run in it constantly. Don't think this will be an issue for me as I only plan to use these on casual walks mixed with some light running (chasing my daughter, etc.).

Having said that, the newer UB's with the Continental soles are supposed to be tougher and last longer (but the colours suck in my opinion).

If you're looking for durability, better go for the PB ZG Prime or something with thicker soles.

Man that is some crazy funked up shit.

At my age I'd probably just say a few curse words and go have an ice cream.

But at least you got a pair. Which colour?

And Adidas Indonesia doesn't ship internationally. I just happen to work there.

Hey bro,

Allow me to explain. Ends charge flat rate shipping fees to msia. However, the actual shipping fees is actually way more than that. that's why your tax is higher.

Exp:
2 pairs of sneakers shipping in volumetric 5kg roughly will cost USD50 (actual shipping cost) but Ends only charge us USD28 (flat rate) but our custom wil tax us based on the actual item price listed on the shipping slip plus the actual shipping cost the forwarding company charge the merchant.

Hopefully these explain  smile.gif


sorry, i still don't get this. i know customs will charge us tax but how can they bump up the shipping cost from flat rate to "actual shipping cost"? or am i ustnding this wrong?

Man you just won at life. Although the NMD's are nice, the Olive UB's are even better.

They're pretty much sought after by UB heads everywhere since there has not been a restock for that colour in a while.

Last time i also couldnt get this right. Allow me to explain in more details.

Shipping fees at Ends = Flat rate at USD28 (kindly bear in mind the actual shipping fees Ends pay to FedEx is far more than what Ends charges us thus the actual shipping fees is actually stated on the shipping slip. Whatever amount more than the flat rate USD28 Ends absorb)

6%GST is calculated based on the actual Item price + the "shipping fees" stated on the slip not the shipping fees we paid.

If not mistaken many sneakerhead on youtube has review UB the outsole worn out quite fast even with light running so bear in mind with that and that's why adidas heard the voice of collector and decided to replace it with continental rubber which will be release in May smile.gif

oh. i get it now. the tax is based on the actual item price + actual shipping fees. which i find weird bcoz i am always under the impression that custom tax is based on the actual item price only (not inclusive of the shipping fee)

I'm not a fan of the colour olive but that is an attractive looking shoe. Enjoy man.

I'm going to spend a lot of time in my UB's this weekend and if all goes well, there's a real danger I'll get another pair next week. My wife is going to kill me.

About the same here but not as hyped as in Malaysia. Maybe because sneakers are more expensive here due to their higher import duty/ tax. For example, heard that NMD's are sold out everywhere in Malaysia but over here, there are still shops that still have the odd sizes.

New Balance are quite popular here maybe because they're relatively cheaper compared against the swoosh and three stripes.

I'm now hunting for a UB in a shade of blue. I should be OK for a few months after that (I think).
